His body was pressed against the cold hard floor, his eyelids slowly started to open and all he could see was a white light. For a moment while Quinn was sleeping, he had forgotten about everything that happened.
But as soon as he looked around him and realised where he was and he knew that everything wasn’t a dream. Right now he wasn’t at the school but was on a completely different planet miles away from home.
As he stood up and started to stretch, there was no way for him to tell how long he was out for but his body felt good. It was a surprise that he slept so well on the floor without a bed. Without realising it, he was more exhausted then he thought.
Not only physically exhausted for fighting against the beast but also mentally exhausting, the constant fear of the unknown was a terrible thing that slowly would eat away at him.
\u003c You’re hunger grows. \u003e
\u003c Daily quest complete, avoid direct sunlight for eight hours \u003e
And at last, the system message had appeared, this meant that in one more day’s time the system would inform him that he needed to consume human blood. He was okay for now as he still had fifty millilitres of blood in his bank.
As long as he didn’t get in any more fights, he would be fine. The most important thing for him to do now was to find that portal.
As he went to open the steel door, Quinn was half expecting that the sun might be out, after all the message appearing meant it was a new day. However, he was unsure whether the system clock was related to the time on earth.
The daily quest reset every day at midnight, but if he was in another country, midnight would be different and right now he was on another planet.
But as he opened the door, he was surprised to see it was still night out, however, his mind was quickly distracted by something else.
Quinn immediately closed the door back up to the container, he placed his hand on his chest feeling his heart beating at an incredible speed.
"What was that!" Quinn thought. "That was no Rat, that’s for sure."
This time Quinn went to the steel door again. He placed his hand on the Metallic handle once again and slowly opened the door to take a peak and as he did a large beast stood inside the hanger.
With the body of the human but the bottom half of a scorpion-like creature, Quinn couldn’t make out what it was. From the human half of its body, it also had two claws on each side.
"Inspect."
With his new inspect skill it seemed to now work at a greater distance.
\u003c Scordana \u003e
\u003c Intermediate level beast \u003e
After finding out what little information was available about the beast, Quinn quickly closed the door once again.
Although Quinn had grown three levels while inside the container, he still felt like dealing with an intermediate beast would almost be impossible for him.
The weakest of intermediate beasts were at least 10 times stronger than a basic tier beast. Of course, this would depend on the beast, for there were some beasts that were just easier to deal with than others no matter what tier they were at.
But looking at the creature, Quinn could tell it would be a tough battle. Instead, he decided to remain inside the capsule until the beast had eventually disappeared. It wasn’t here when he first entered so there was always the chance it could leave.
After waiting for what felt like a considerable amount of time, He decided to open the door once again to check if the beast was still there and unfortunately it was.
